I've always been intrigued by the notion that morality and truth are determined by the time of day/month/year. Yes, some beliefs/laws/attitudes can become dated. But when we're talking about the family, the basic unit of society, and the God-given institution of marriage, time is not a factor. There is such thing as eternal truth regardless of what the focus group polling says.
sad, but true.
The day that Fitz announced he wouldn't be indicting Rove Cowie the Skiier went off about releasing classified info during a time of war. Yet he has remained silent and complicit during the NYT leaks.
I know what you mean!
Is G-d a bigot, Mr. Dean? Just curious...
ABORTION!
It always amazes me what Dems will emotionally commit to: abortion, gay marriage, affirmative action, and health insurance.
A party void of ideas.....
According to an earlier article, the New York City clerk's office was designing a "gender neutral" marriage license for use in case the court ruled the other way.
Call me crazy, but I were getting married I would want to be the wife -- not just a gender-neutral partner.
"The Party of Jack Murtha"
Don't forget they are also the party of traitors, perverts, and criminals.
Good point! I was not aware of that.
I don't make specific comments about the "gay lifestyle" because I don't even need to address it. I have said many times - the issue is not "equality for straights and gays" but whether men and women are not only equal, but identical or interchangeable. THEY ARE NOT! They're a matched set! Even a hard-core atheist should be able to understand that.
I think framing the issue this way explains a lot. Not having state-sanctioned same-sex marriage is no more illegal discrimination than having separate men's and women's bathrooms in public buildings is illegal segregation, IMHO.
If the people want it, let them try to enact it through their elected representatives. THEN we can have the more substantive debate.
But I just do not see how a court would be compelled to order same-sex marriage, again unless somehow it first judicially wipes away all distinctions between men and women. It makes no sense.
Exactly! I'm beginning to thing Deaniac is a Republican plant. Either that, or the Dems never want to win another national election--EVER.
One more nail in the Democratic Coffin...........
actually the opinion SPECIFICALLY says those who are opposed to homosexual marriage are not biggots.
It is a sound rejection of the "homophobe" propaganda point.
The judges rejected the propaganda hysterics.
(yes this was NY!)
how about
democrats the party of "surrender [like the french],screw [whatever is not moving], and suffer [more taxes]"
Rove, you evil genius!
right on! someone give this man a megaphone!
If rulings like the NY one and the Georgia one keep up, the Dems are going to lose their faith in the courts....and then they'll have nothing.
Of course he does. The legislative branch passes a law. The Judicial branch throws it out or replaces it if they don't like it.
sad but true
All those little gay bastards conceived by gays out of wedlock...poor little things...
